West Ham United is now starting to become a more viable destination for Napoli midfielder Piotr Zielinski, according to reports.

The Lowdown: Hammers eye Zielinski...

Hammers boss David Moyes and head of recruitment Rob Newman are said to be eyeing a move for the Serie A playmaker with talks ongoing over Zielinski's signature.

ExWHUemployee recently claimed that West Ham are hopeful of striking an agreement for the 28-year-old, coming just after the club ended their long search for a new striker with the acquisition of frontman Gianluca Scamacca from Sassuolo.

Reports from Italy have shared the latest in regard to their pursuit of Zielinski with a promising claim now emerging courtesy of newspaper Il Mattino.

The Latest: Zielinski considering West Ham offer...

Indeed, the Serie A source, via Sport Witness, claims that the Poland international is 'starting to think' about joining Moyes at West Ham.

They add that he is 'seriously' considering a move to east London, coming after West Ham tabled a 'very rich' contract offer for the player with there being an opportunity to really upgrade his salary.

The Verdict: Get it done...

Labelled an architect in midfield by The Guardian and an 'exceptional' player by ex-Poland national team boss Paulo Sousa, Zielinski could add a degree of dynamism and creativity to Moyes' midfield.

Having drawn comparisons to the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden, the player's quality is evident or at least has been in Naples, leaving little wonder he has found his way on to West Ham's target list.

As the east Londoners aim to keep chase with the Premier League's elite, they could certainly do far worse than Zielinski.
